12 Killed And 38 Wounded In TDKR Midnight Screening

By Chris Davis . July 20, 2012

A shooting at an Aurora, Co. theater during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises has left 12 dead and 38 wounded according to multiple reports. The shooter has been identified as 24 yr old James Holmes, a PhD student at the University of Colorado. 15 min into the film he was said to enter through an emergency exit dress in ‘SWAT like attire’ and opened up on the crowd after throwing a few smoke bombs into the crowd. A bomb was also found in the theater along with his apartment being rigged with explosives. I won’t post any videos or witness accounts, but plenty of news sources are covering this more closely. This just needed to be addressed and please keeps your thoughts with those of the families and friends of the people that were needlessly taken.
